About the role

Senior Software Engineer on the Handshake AI Enterprise team focused on building the product experience layer of AI applications deployed into enterprise environments, with direct customer engagement and an emphasis on high craftsmanship and end-to-end product quality.

Responsibilities

  • Own the product experience of AI applications deployed into enterprise customer environments, from initial discovery through iteration
  • Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, pain points, and what "great" looks like in their context
  • Translate ambiguous customer needs into clear, well-crafted product and technical decisions
  • Build high-quality, full-stack features, from data models and APIs to the interfaces people actually use
  • Collaborate closely with Applied AI and Platform engineers on your deployment team to ship cohesive, production-grade solutions
  • Iterate rapidly based on real usage and customer feedback, with tight feedback loops
  • Establish product engineering standards and reusable patterns that help the team scale quality as we grow
  • Surface insights from customer deployments that inform Handshake's core product direction

Qualifications

  • 5-6+ years of engineering experience, full-stack with strong backend depth
  • Product engineering experience with strong fullstack instincts and a high bar for product quality
  • Experience at a company where craft was a genuine priority, you've helped hold that bar, not just ship features
  • Proficiency across the stack: comfortable with modern backend frameworks, APIs, and data modeling, as well as React/TypeScript on the frontend
  • Strong opinions about product experience, you notice when things feel off and you fix them, regardless of which layer the problem lives in
  • Ability to make pragmatic technical decisions that serve the product, not just the architecture
  • Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with real customers and real stakes
  • Strong communication skills, you'll be in customer conversations regularly and need to translate between business needs and technical decisions
